Mr.. Sullivan was deeply agitated. When
he began addressing the conrt his voice trem-
bled and the usual pallor of his face was even
deeper. There was moment Of suspense,
and then Judge Jameson rose to address the
jury. Gentlemen Of the jury" he said, "the

happy at this termination. The imprison.

the indictment, and fiy the punishment of
Richard s. McClaughrey at two years in the
penitentiary." The same phraseology, "two
years in the penitentiary," was repeated after
the names of Adam Qchs, Michael Leyden,
Harry A. Varnell, John E. Van Pelt, Daniel
j. Wren and Michael Wasserman and
then the verdict proceeded: "James ]. Nc
Carthy, fine of s1,900," and the same
amount was attached to thenames of Richard
n. Oliver, Chris Casselmann and Chris Cells
To say that there was hum of surprise at
this verdict is putting things mildly. One
howl went up from among the spectators in
the dimly lighted part of the court room, but
it was quickly checked The defendants sat
in CONSERVATION. A small army of deputy
sheriffs and bailiffs had completely sur
rounded the defendants to prevent any es-
capes, Sheriff Matson directing the move
ments in person. After the reading of the
verdict the usual humdrum of legal techni-
calities went on undisturbed, and then the
crowd, which had completely filled the court
room went out slowly.
The defendants upon whom penitentiary
sentence was imposed, Leyden, Wren, Nc
C1aughrey, Wassermnn, Varne1l, Van Peft,
and Ochs, were at once taken from the court
room to the Jail and the others were allowed
to 60 home :: ; = ~.1a

SCANDALIN WASHINGTON.
ALLEGED RASCALlTY IN THE TREAS
URY DEPARTMENT

| Said to Have Been Unearthed by Com
Like ThunderbOlt In the Gen eral Land
Ofice-Many Persons Believed To De
Implicated.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug 8-A special
to The New York Tribune says: Information
| reces yed by The Tribune correspondent from
a source which appears to be trustworthy in
dicates that serious scandal is pending in
the treasury department. Several months
ago letter from one of its officers, the sur
veyor general of California, fell like thun-
derbolt within the walls of the general land
office 1t is asserted that the letter i'll ques-
sion contained certain United States treasury
drafts which the surveyor general had re-
ceived direct from the treasury department
with number of others to deliver to certain
persons whose addresses he was to ascertain.
These drafts were, in fact, for payment or
satisfaction of claims which the persons
in whose names they were drawn
had against the government for serv
ices rendered as deputy surveyors for the
surveys of the public lands under general
appropriations for that purpose, and also un-
der what is known rs the special deposit
S1SC6IIl. 1Io III Uuco0 GI6tiS-
ury drafts stated that while he had deliv-
cred all the others or caused them to be de-
livered tr the persons for whose benefit they
WEI -,SlIed he had failed to find the payees
of the drafts inclosed in his letter, as some
were dead and others had moved to parts un-
known. The irregularity of the proceedings
was apparent to Sparks, and it is asserted
that he was then and has been ever since the
most indignant man in Washington, for,
upon careful comparison Of the plats and
accounts in satisfaction of which these treas
ury drafts had been issued it was found that
in many cases they had been so paid long
years before, some of them as long as 1872 or
1873
1t is asserted that Commissioner Sparks
addressed most energetic remoustrance to
the treasury department in regard to these
payments, and that the whole matter has
been thoroughly Investigated by a good many
persons who are interested in these irregular
and fraudulent cases, and that among them
are several ex-members of congress, who
were told by one of the special agents that
they were running terrible risk They ex-
planned as well as they could that they were
merely acting as attorneys for others, and
had believed the claims were all straight"
"Well," replied the agent "all I can say is
that you have drifted accidentally into very
strange company-the company of thieves
and scoundrels."

Kalakaua signs the Constitution.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. s.-A special from
Port Townsend says: The bark Colusa ar
rived from Honolulu Friday with Hawaiian
advices to July IS. King Kalakaua signed
the constitution July 10. The time fixed by
him for signing was July Z, but he postponed
signing until popular feeling was so worked
up that any further delay would have re-
suited disastrously to himself. This deprives
Kalakaua of monarchical powers and leaves
him only the power to draw his salary and

LAPEER, Mich, Aug. S.-The Rev. G. G.
Rhodes, Methodist preacher, has sworn out
warrants for the arrest of Drs. Harrison and
Wilson and for twenty eight others whose
names are not given, for grievous bodily as
sault. Mr.. Rhodes says that few days ago
while he was holding divine service at a
private house, thirty men, disguised, entered
the house, and Harrison and Wilson he says,
led the party. Rhodes was seized, struck on
the head, his clothes removed, and he was
then taken out. His body was bedaubed with
tar, feather bed was cut open and the
feathers applied. He was next ridden on a
rail and terribly maltreated: They threat
ened to throw him in mill pond but de-
sisted when he said he could not swim. They,
however, gave him a severe wellpumping
and then another coat of tar and coat of
fine grass He was finally liberated, more
dead than alive. The statement is made that
